Hi,

 

On your Mac G4 OS 10.4, an older version is needed, indeed.

Downloadable from here : http://is.gd/QwiTOv

 

Btw, do not forget to disable 'automatic checking for updates' preference.  :wink:

Re : Skype on Mac 10.4 won't work.

I recently bought a MacBook Air, with Mac OS X Version 10.7.2.  This is the first time I have tried using Skype on a Mac--a pc user for many year until now.  I logged in to my Skype account from the Skype website but am unable to view my contacts list or make a call (I have $4+change in credit).  Please help!

Maybe this is stating the obvious, but you will not find your contacts when you're online in your Skype account on the website. This you do by launching the actual Skype application, which I must assume you've downloaded (a .dmg file).
